Redpanda delivers 6x lower TCO
Redpanda is purpose-built to run efficiently on multi-core hardware, ensuring high throughput on today's systems. It outperforms legacy Kafka by being 6x more cost-effective for the same workload, while reducing your carbon footprint. Do a comparison of TCO compared to Kafka.
1/3rd the compute footprint
Shrinks your compute footprint to 1/3rd or less while delivering better performance when compared to other Apache Kafka based solutions.
More efficient data retention
Leverages a tiered cloud object storage architecture to retain data more economically, while increasing the availability of historical data.
6x lower total costs
Proven to reduce total cost of ownership by up to 6x by shrinking the compute, storage and maintenance costs of running clusters.
The BYOC option for Redpanda Cloud gives us the managed service experience we require, while enabling us to reduce costs and take advantage of our discounted rates for AWS compute, storage and networking services.
“When selecting a streaming data platform, the choice for Jump was obvious. “For starters, we needed assurance we’d have zero data loss. We also needed something that would meet our high throughput requirements. That put Redpanda in a class of its own.”
"Redpanda was able to handle the same load on far less resources than Kafka required. It was 5 to 6 times more efficient, greatly reducing our hardware costs as well as support and licensing costs."
We chose Redpanda Cloud for three important reasons: It gives us the best Kafka API performance by far, has all the features we need and it keeps our costs in check.
Redpanda helped us grow from the hundreds of millions of dollars in trading per day to billions of dollars.
Redpanda BYOC gives us a fully managed Kafka service running on our own cloud servers, balancing our internal compliance requirements with ease of use, and without compromising performance and compatibility.
As a result of switching to Redpanda, we have reduced our cloud infrastructure spend on event streaming by about 70%, resulting in savings of millions of USD annually.
Engineered for efficiency
Redpanda combines innovations like thread-per-core design and a single binary architecture with a cloud-first storage to significantly reduce total costs.
Thread-per-core execution
Utilizes a thread-per-core architecture and C++ framework to ekes out the maximum performance from today’s hardware, resulting in higher throughput and lower latencies using 1/3rd the nodes or fewer compared to other Kafka services.
Cloud-first storage
Intelligent tiered storage engine offloads real time data from log segments to cloud object storage in your infrastructure (S3, GCS, Azure Blob or other S3-compatible storage), delivering up to 8-9x savings in long term data retention costs.
Single binary architecture
Built using a zero-dependency architecture — ZooKeeper™ and KRaft free, JVM free, nothing else to manage but Redpanda nodes — to significantly reduce administrative overhead and engineering time spent tuning clusters.
Inline Data Transforms
Built-in data transforms to enrich data or apply routine business logic without ping-ponging across additional processing infrastructure.
Write caching
Make fast machines faster, or run more efficiently on leaner infrastructure. Opt-in to write caching and trade guaranteed durability for drastically reduced latencies.
Self-managing clusters
Automated management of data on disk to rebalance the cluster eliminates hotspots, and self heals without manual intervention, significantly reducing Day 2 operations at scale and resulting in fast startup times for CI/CD pipelines.
